Test Facility
The test facility is a hardware test tool in the switch software. Its primary
function is to validate that there are no hardware problems after installation of
the switch or expansion options. You can also use it as a troubleshooting tool,
but it is just one of many such tools. You could consider the test facility to be a
specialised interface module, such as PPP or Frame Relay, where the interfaces
under test are dedicated to the test facility.
Before you use the test facility, disable configurations by using the
set configuration=none command, and restart or reboot the switch. For more
information about the test facility, see the Te s t Facility chapter in the Software
Reference.
